In expectation of the General Meeting in Amsterdam: From the club seat to the Max Euwe-Centrum in pictures

  • Starting point Johannes Vermeerstraat; No. 37 – the house of Jurgen Stigter – is known to be the seat of the Ken Whyld Association.
  • The Rijksmuseum from the rear, only a few minutes to go from the club seat.
  • Passing the Rijksmuseum (sideways).
  • René van der Heijden, Bernd Schneider and Jurgen Stigter at the edge of a "stretch of water".
  • Bernd Schneider and Jurgen Stigter are on the right way (namely to the MEC).
  • The Hotel Smits, for several members the accommodation of their choice during the meeting in the middle of September.
  • View from the Hein Donner-Bridge (named after the Dutch GM). It’s not far away from the MEC now.
  • The Max Euwe-Centrum comes into sight!
  • Back view of the MEC.
  • Peter de Jong, Jurgen Stigter and Michael Negele on the otherwise empty Max Euweplein.
  • The Max Euweplein full of people – chess must be a crowd puller in Holland!
  • Bernd Schneider, Jurgen Stigter and Peter de Jong posing at the entrance to the MEC. Below you see the nameplate beside the door.
  • To reach the innermost of the MEC you have to pass several doors, this is the first one ... By means of a lift you may effortlessly move upward to the 1st floor.
  • The sign in the first floor confirms that (inter alia) the MEC resides here.
  • Jurgen Stigter and Bernd Schneider arrive at the second door. Both look rather relaxed now.
  • Behind the third door the way is clear to the "inner sanctum".
